Death Of A Toronto Man In Kenora Remains A Mystery

The death of a Toronto man in Kenora last month remains a mystery.
36-year-old Michael Sylborne was found outside the Best Western Lakeside Inn, underneath a broken fourth floor window.
Provincial Police had ruled out foul play but the man’s sister isn’t buying it.
June Sylborne tells the Toronto Sun that she believes he was murdered.
She tells the paper that he was about to get married and was happy and that he was 230-pounds of muscle.
June stated in the interview that it’s hard to imagine how only one person would be able to throw him out a window while he was conscious.
Michael was in Kenora to work on a construction job and he was staying at the Hotel, along with the Brantford Blast who were eliminated in the Allan Cup qualifier.
June stated in the interview that there was a wild party on the fourth floor and her brother was at the party.
She advised the Toronto Star that Michael was happy when he was drinking and wasn’t a fighter.
June says his friends on the job were with him just before his death and they stated he was fine.
Provincial Police had ruled out foul play and June tells the paper that OPP advised her that they don’t suspect suicide.
